hey moumita...i read your article and it did provide many useful valuable tips. i'm sure anyone travelling to foreign shores will experience a great amount of trepidation and this article does much to put one at ease.

in terms of suggestion here are just a few things i thought you could work with to make the article engaging as well as informative.

1) i found the entire approach and too instruction-based. you might want to try a more informal voice considering this article is catering to an off-the-cuff traveller.

2) personal experience is always a delightful departure to better illustrate a point. i love the part about those rocks from the moon in some ancient cave. thats insightful and makes me want to travel to lands unknown. besides my valuation of you as a traveller immediately goes up.

3) humour, tongue-in-cheek, slapstick, black, absurd anything but make it fun. it's not a serious article dealing with ideology and theosophy. it's about the joie de vivre...let it reel

Hi Wolf,Your suggestions were most useful and thanks so much for the kind words! I purposely avoided humour in this article since the LFC website caters towards useful/instructive/self-help articles. So I thought humour might be out of place. But probably I could have been more informal. Will try that next time.Thanks a ton!
